thanks both of you. it's not that i have no confidence in myself. it's just that i see everyone else's amazing credentials which therefore makes me feel inadequate. I'm working on my amazing life experiences
but don't have enough time or money to mmake it amazing enough. So without that i feel i need an amazing MCAT and gpa. I haven't taken even a diagnostic test yet and my gpa is average at best. But i'm impressed to hear others being successful with Cs, Ds, Fs and Ws. I've had my horrible D+, a C+ which I should have dropped but my advisor told me not to (stupid!), and otherwise a few bs and mostly As. Hpwever a D+ in a pre-req hurts a lot, especially when you don't have much time to bounce back from it. it would be a different story if it happened in my freshman year rather than my senior year.
But thanks for your advice and kind words.
